Awards and Distinctions

We are pleased to announce that our LivingCenter has been included on U.S. News & World Report's annual list of America's Best Nursing Homes. The list highlights the highest-ranked 5-Star nursing homes as rated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for health inspections, amount of nursing care, and performance in a range of quality measures. Only 173 nursing homes in the country have received this honor.

We are also proud to be 2009 recipients of the American Health Care Association (AHCA) / National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) Bronze Quality Award. This award recognizes facilities that demonstrate a strong commitment to the principles of continuous improvement by delivering ever-improving value to residents and other customers, improving overall organizational effectiveness and capabilities, and serving as a champion for organizational and personal learning.

About Our LivingCenter

Have you suddenly found yourself looking for a nursing home? We know it isn't an easy task. There is so much information to learn and so many decisions to make.

Whatever your specific needs, our goal is to provide compassionate care in a clean, comfortable setting where you will feel at home.

We offer short-term care to help you get well and return to your own home. We also provide long-term nursing home care -- and more intensive clinical services if you need them. If your recuperation involves rehabilitation, we also offer the services of physical, occupational and speech therapists.

Individual attention begins as soon as you are admitted, and we consult with you regularly to discuss ongoing needs and goals. Also, our certified nursing assistants are available around the clock, every day of the year -- to provide medical care or simply to help you perform routine activities. Our approach to clinical healthcare emphasizes teamwork between all members of our staff -- nurses, dietitians, social workers, activity coordinators -- and each employee plays a key role in your treatment plan.
